Description: What are the constraints and the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that act on the human capacity to anticipate events and actions? How do human beings project themselves into the future? What logic governs the implementation of this capacity? And under what conditions can such a capacity be artificially mimicked? How does psychopathology contribute to the understanding of these mechanisms, which are located at the confluence of brain and psyche? How do human beings react when faced with situations that force them to reconfigure their existence? Those are the questions that are examined in this book, written by a group of scientists at the vanguard of interdisciplinary research.
